Motorists travelling on a road in Colchester this afternoon have been disrupted after hole emerged in the surface.
Brook Street is currently closed in both directions at the A134 Barrack Street junction, because of a collapsed road.
Police and county council highways officers were alerted to the scene and swiftly coned off the area around the crevice.
Castle ward councillor Nick Barlow, who took the picture above, said he believed the hole was caused by a collapsed drain.
